| Imported post OK, I'll bite. Digs, why is stiffer better? If your harness is adjustable then why would it matter? Not being one to follow the herd and all that... (Proud owner of an AP Valves harness) |

| Imported post It does not crease and therefore it spreads the load of the set better. If it folds logitudinally, then it gets quite uncomfortable.

| Imported post <font color='#000080'>Right. Digger and Woz seriously stiff webbing now available to buy online from www.kitfondle.co.uk. I've also got the soft stuff too for the crotch straps. You'll find the webbing on the WozPlates page. Ta Da! And BTW no, I haven't got any other colour apart from black unless you would like to order 1/2 a mile of the stuff.

| Imported post <font color='#000080'>Foggy, the semi-reflective stuff I had was a while back, but I do have about 4m left. It's not as stiff as this stuff, but is still thick and holds its shape reasonably. Holds well on the harness without slipping. If you want it, PM me and we'll get it sorted, probably knock it out at the same price as the stiff stuff, it's a one-off, as it's not available from any UK supplier I can find. I like the new stiff stuff Woz has got, and my harnesses are now getting done with that, but if you want the semi-reflective we can work something out. Digs. |

| Imported post <font color='#000080'>And John, don't get me started on the AP Valves harness. I think Dom has summed it up well enough on his website. The webbing they use is ideal for crotch straps, useless for shoulder and waist. THe adjustable harness debate is another one altogether, but this new stuff when adjusted will stay where you put it, instead of the soft AP stuff that pulls through those pinch clips gradually with a decent sized set on it. Get yourself down to kitfondle.co.uk, do the right thing. |
